*XPS M1730 Problems/Dell Replacement Issues*

[DemolitionManHD]

Hi, i have recently had a brand new XPS M1730 replacement from Dell but was wondering, i the original version (2 years ago) the physic card was separate card but in today version which is 3-4 different motherboard version away is the physic card installed or are Dell using intergrated physic on the GPU?

Dude, all 8 series and above cards support CUDA PhysX, which is now the new name for Ageia PhysX; Nvidia bought the rights.

To be honest, the Ageia card wasn't needed to begin with because for the most part, the GPUs can handle PhysX even better.

It is a shame though that some of us had to buy into the market crap and pay extra for the Ageia.

So UPS didnt show up today... I called both Dell and UPS, Dell said that it was india who bocked it so they will tell India to contact me... UPS says that Dell didnt contact them and that i have to wait...

What a waste of day...

update. 2

Been told NO REPLACEMENT SYSTEM. Ive been offered a refund of £2300 plus my gfx card upgrade of £439.54 and my 2 yr warranty extension of £90 i think.

Apparently DELL dont offer Alienware AS REPLACEMENTS for DELL machines lol. Altho i was offered a replacement machine with a balance difference.

ok then whatever

[Elkay]

Dell does, or at least they did. Maybe they had a policy change since I got mine.

[sergiop]

they didnt call me again today... i just hope they didnt cancel the refund...

Ok here we go, 6 months ago i recieved a 1730 for replacement of a 1710 .2 higher processor and sli 512 instead of single 512 card, i was happy, at first..... i am now waiting on 5th graphics card to get here. i feel like dell wants to just keep throwing these broke graphics cards and MOBOs at me till my warranty runs out in Nov. they say i am lucky cause i got upgrade from 1710 already LOL HELP what do i do to make dell admit that this is problem with 1730 and 8700 cards. why are they sending me 5 graphics cards in 6 months and sending other people M17x??? thanks for any input very frustrated of amount of downtime

[sergiop]

So i called them today again, and the engineer said that Dell cancelled the pickup... dont know why... so he is investigating...
